Judge Richard Arnold

I started Texarkana-native Richard Arnold's biography on the flight here to DC yesterday. Great book, and included is a flyer from his failed '66 campaign for U.S Congress against David Pryor (pictured below). I note that the return address on the flyer is 300 State Line Avenue in Texarkana, which is my current law/campaign office. The Arnolds practiced law in our building for decades. Arnold was appointed to the federal bench by Carter and served as chief judge of the 8th Circuit from 1992-1998. During his last twelve years on the court, he served with his younger brother, Judge Morris S. "Buzz" Arnold, a Republican appointed by President George Herbert Walker Bush.
